Count My Wisdom Teeth! - 10:43 PM

In a slight break with tradition I'm going to do the "other news" bit before this week's speedruns. Why? Because I can!

And now, the reason you all came here, the demos...

Thomas Bergendorff has gone absolutley mad this week in his quest to rid the tables of Optic's tablefiller demos. This includes taking Total Ownage of two levels.

Ensuring that Bergie doesn't have all the glory in this update we have Arturo Garcia Lasca improving his Easy 100% of pb1 by six seconds in this high quality 1:44. He made the saving using some very nice route tweaks that were suggested to him by.... Thomas Bergendorff!

We've had another entry to our LadyQuake contest on pagan. Alena Malikova has taken the Nightmare Run from Scion with a very impressive 0:10, equalling the Easy Run. Way to go, Bunny-girl! This contest will run for one more week before we open the map up to the guys so any ladies out there with should send their demos in before Tuesday 1st October. The Easy 100% is still unclaimed and, of course, now that the girls have proved they have the skillz we might see them taking some existing records or (hint hint) entering the new contest. :-)

Speaking of which, did you know we're having a new speedrunning contest? Well, we are. It's called The Gibgate Complex and it's really really fun. Honestly.

I'm sorry to go on in that embarrassingly crawly way but I've never organised a ROTW contest before and I'm really worried it'll be a disaster. I sometimes lie awake all night tossing and turning, mostly tossing if I'm honest[1], thinking about it.

Actually, that's not true. I just used it as an excuse to get a few masturbation references into the update because I don't think there's been enough lately. :-) But now that we have a female contingent reading these updates does it mean I'll have to clean up my act and stop the swearing and filth? Does it?

Does it FUCK! :-)

[1] For those of you who aren't aware "tossing" is a euphamism for, well, vigourously rubbing your love pole. You understand? Flogging the dolphin. Stretching the chicken's neck. Waving your magic wand. Basically, wanking.

New Contest! - 7:47 PM

Just a quick update to let you all know that due to popular demand I have started a new series of Run Of The Whenever Speedrunning Contests that should run between now and (roughly) the end of November with the winning entries forming the basis for a nice little end of year present from us to you. See here for the details.

The idea came from something that Tim Doherty and myself were messing around with some time ago so if you don't like it, blame him. ;-P

Good luck and happy gibbing!

Sniff The Fist. - 10:08 PM

Right you fuckers. Just because Stubbz has taken a well deserved break from updating doesn't mean you're getting rid of ME that easily. Mostly because I'm not on ICQ or IRC at the moment and I only check my mail every few days so it's really hard to find me to insult me. But even if you could it takes more than the low grade whining we get from the one or two people that can't seem to take a hint. Remember...

Morfans : Balls of steel!

And what that means is that I want to see more quality demos than ever before. And when I say quality I don't mean shit like me doing the Nightmare 100% of imp1sp2 in 3:54, I mean real quality like Weixing Ye improving the 100% records on em1 to 0:52 on both Easy and Nightmare skill.

You see, I don't think that the average skill level of the active runners has ever been higher. Sure, some of the all-time, truly great runners no longer submit demos regularly but with talent like Denis "I'll Hack Your Bollocks Off With A Rusty Razor Blade If You Ever Touch This Site Again" Nazarov taking total ownage of the_gate with these demos...

...the future still looks bright. And of course, as hard as you might try you will never, EVER be allowed to forget that somewhere out there is Arturo "Updating's Easy" Garcia Lasca, who has taken another record on pb1. This time he did the Nightmare 100% in 2:27, 10 seconds faster than Justin.

So just remember: Some things in this world are more important than politics, religion, life, love, family, work, peace, war, famine, death, pestilence or tuna. And the most important of all is Quake!

Sing praise to the Bunny God : I have seen the light!

See you next time.

You People Did It Again! - 9:59 PM

Wow, these past few days since I made the previous update has been eventful! I've been called a bunch of things, as well as attacked verbally, and what for? Because I posted a FLAG in my update??? I mean, come on, it's just a flag for christs sake, it's not like I've made an unconditional vow to the United States! If I hadn't put a flag on SDA and just a note, then I'm pretty sure no-one would pay attention to it. "I" update this website, and therefore I'm entitled to do whatever I want with it! If I want to post a flag, then I'll post a flag, if I want to post naked pictures of celebrities, then I'll post naked pictures of celebrities! There's no deeper meaning behind it, sorry if you got that impression... And no, I'm certainly not trying to defend myself here, I'm just trying to convince people that there was no deeper meaning behind all this! But I must say that the flag had an effect, not the effect I had hoped for, but I don't think an update on SDA has caused so much anger and hatred before! I'm actually glad I did the update, it just shows how little insight and how ignorant people really are! All the arguments I've heard has been weak. And just so you know, the reason why I put the flag on SDA is NOT politically related in ANY way! Several people was under that impression for some odd reason!

As far as I'm concerned, then this will be the last update you'll see from me in a very long time. I've grown sick and tired of people doing nothing but bitch and complain. It happens rarely that I hear the word "thanks". It's more like "fuck off". Alot of those people who say that don't pay attention to the amount of work it requires to maintaining SDA, as easily portrayed in some of the threads on the message board.... And don't get me wrong, it's not the comments from the previous update that has excelled my decision to stay away from SDA for some time, it's merely the fact that people take everything for granted and they don't see the amount of work we put behind this. To be honest, all this complaining has pissed me off to such a degree where I just don't care anymore. I think the same thing happened with Nolan when he decided to stop updating SDA. I won't vanish completely though, I'll still be around helping Morfans and lodis whenever I can, but don't expect me to update SDA or host another ROTW Championship. That just won't happen, sorry!

I won't reveal the names of those responsible for my decision, but I think you know who you are. I just hope for your sake that you don't treat Morfans and lodis the same way you did with me. It's just not worth the effort to do this anymore for me, I get less out of it than I gain. And let me just clear out any misunderstanding: It's not because of what happened with my previous update that I've decided to keep a low profile for a while, it's a mix of alot of things which has happened during the period I've been updating SDA. I've worked so hard maintaining this site, and I've gotten so little in return. I hope you can respect and understand that.

So, I guess my prophesy in the previous update came true after all! All good things must indeed come to an end...

Bye...

All Good Things Must Come To An End.... - 11:42 PM

I had originally made another headline for this update, but it caused quite a roar in our IRC channel, so I changed it. Feel free to interpret the new one anyway you like! I'm leaving the flag though...

USA Flag

We haven't received any demos since last update....

Hungarian Hullabaloo - 3:07 PM

The Hungarian Coop Duo also known as Attila Csernyik and Peter Horvath has done the utterly impossible! They've improved their own Easy Run of The Installation by 1 FAT second to get 0:05!! This must be absolute optimum! I refuse to believe this can be done any faster, but please go ahead and prove me wrong! This coop demo definately deserves a MUST DOWNLOAD.

The next demo is actually just as good, with the slight difference that it's a single player demo courtesy of Jozsef the Hungarian Hurdler, and we all know what that means, right? Yes we fucking diddle-li-do (Flanders rip-off), another piece of speedrunning art by the Bunny God himself. This time he ravaged his own Easy 100% of Gloom Keep by 1 second to get 0:46! How did he do it you ask? Well, my lips are sealed, but I can promise you're in for a treat! And the fact that Joe included a little nifty program that let's you change the intermission view, and that the quality of this demo is so damn good, I give this one a MUST DOWNLOAD too!

There's only three demos left in this update, and they're all from Arturo 'Fuck Doll' Garcia. He launched an assault on pb1, first doing the Nightmare Run 1 second faster than himself to get 0:35, and then the Easy 100% 2 seconds faster than Marlo to get 1:54, but two days later he improved that even further by 4 seconds to get 1:50. Very nice!

The Bergendorff Massacre! - 11:31 PM

This update will be very un-wordy (does such a word exist?) and very short. I'm tired and I can't think of a whole lot to write, so bear with me will ya...

Thomas Bergendorff shows no mercy and continues his bashing upon Justin. This time he took seven of his demos, but I'm almost convinced we haven't seen the end of the Bergendorff Massacre yet! Stay tuned for more...

Demos not from Bergie... Also, there's a new batch of Bunny Comparison demos up. There's some really nice demos in between, so I suggest you check 'em out.

UPDATE: Just noticed over on pq.com that there's a new version of Scourge done Slick released!

Cellphones are EVIL! - 12:33 PM

Oh boy oh boy, you're certainly in for a treat today! Nothing less than 4 id records, with one of them being a marathon, and then there's the Lady Quakers competition demos of course!

Let's kick it off with the man who has no respect for id records (unless he ownz the records himself that is!), Mr. Jozsef Szalontai.

This update sees the return of Daniel Magnusson who has once again swung his mighty weaponry in Dimension Of The Doomed. He improved his previous marathon by 12 seconds. Most of the time was saved in e1m6 which was the key to getting the time under 12 minutes. New time is 11:59.

Ok, here's what you've been craving to see... The Lady Quakers Contest!

Let's turn our attention to the rest of the demos: Morfans is in the middle of moving house these days, so wish him the best of luck. He'll be on a shitty modem from now on, but he has promised to still make updates for SDA (thank God!).

Oh, and in case you're wondering about the headline. I bought a new cellphone (the old one had seen better days) two days ago and I still have no fucking clue how it works! Why can't manuals just not be easy to understand? I guess I'm just too oldschool for this shit...

Salute To Stubbz: We Are Not Worthy! - 7:28 PM

It's been a long, long time since one person has owned all four single player records on an Id map. In fact, I can't even remember when it might have been. Perhaps Ilkka back in 1998? Or Nolan back in 1997? Whatever, it's a very rare occurrence indeed. So it gives me great pleasure to announce that Thomas Stubgaard has improved Attila's Easy Run of The Haunted Halls by one second to 0:43 which gives him total ownage of this incredibly hard level! If you see him around, buy him a beer; he deserves it. MUST DOWNLOAD

The ladies competition we started in the last update is (thankfully) already getting some attention. Within a few days of the announcement hitting the news we have had "I'll give it a try" responses from several fragrant killers and even a few demos! Scion started things off with the Easy Run and Nightmare 100% and Rebecca Axelsson has had a try at the Easy and Nightmare Runs. Once we receive a couple more demos we'll start a page to compare all the entrant's best times and give links to the demos, or something like that. Keep them coming!

The demos on the recently added maps have become a real battle ground in the last few days, starting with the Nightmare 100% of theledge. Up until now Ken has had it pretty Easy but now Weixing Ye has destroyed his record by six seconds to 0:34. When Ken found out he was not at all happy and has sworn to try and take it back. He'll have to be very lucky though...

The 100%s on the_gate saw a fight to the death between Weixing and Daniel Hansson

It was a similar scrap for the 100%s on em1. When we left this map at the end of last update Daniel held the Easy 100% with a 1:03.

Improving his imp1sp2 Easy Run by yet another second is Rutger Baks. Even smother than before and with that lovely little slope jump to exit. :-) 0:54.

Finishing off this update is the man who seems to be working on taking every single non-bunny RDE record, Carl Tholin. This week he has taken two more...

SDA : Compares to excellence as "lick" compares to "suck"!

My Ass Becomed Dropsical - 10:03 PM

Before we examine the latest harvest of demos we have one more new map to add to the archive, but this one is slightly different; most of you reading this are not allowed to submit demos for it!

If that sounds a little strange then relax. All will be explained.

The map is called pagan and is available from here or here. It's a small, fairly straight forward map that doesn't require any spectacular tricks to get a reasonable time on but has the potential for loads of boosts should you wish to try and optimise it. Now here's the catch: for the next few weeks we will only be accepting demos on this map from female speedrunners. That's right, the time has come for the LadyQuakers to show us their skillz (and show us that they exist)! All four normal categories, Easy Run, Nightmare Run, Easy 100% and Nightmare 100%, are open so put your best running bra on and go for it!

The exact time that this map will be limited to girls only will depend upon the response and feedback we get. It will probably be between two and four weeks. Demos will be posted in the normal SDA manner and once we decide that the competition is closed the winners will be announced and all entries will be listed up for everyone to admire. If the response is good then the map will be opened up to everyone and a new ladies only map will be released. So send us some feedback if you like the idea and want it to continue, even if you don't enter this time or like this map.

All your demos should be named pag_xxx, if you have any difficulties with demo recording or sending (jeez this sounds patronising, sorry) click on the Site Info tag on the left, mail us or come and ask in #qdq on quakenet.

Just to make sure everyone is absolutely clear on the rules here. You have to be female to enter. Wearing women's clothing (eg. Carl), lacking any noticable external genitalia (eg. Amrik) or speaking in a girly voice (eg. Ken) is not good enough. If you are in any doubt, count your chromosomes: if you have XX you can submit demos; if you have XY then you cannot.

And now, on with the demos...

If I told you that someone had improved a record on The Haunted Halls I'm sure you could guess who it was. There's only one man lunatic enough to tackle a hoard of ogres armed only with an axe and that's Thomas Stubgaard. He didn't just improve his previous record, he destroyed it by eight seconds to 0:59. MUST DOWNLOAD

Jozsef Szalontai kindly pointed out that Markus, Peter and Attila all got 0:10 in the Easy Run of csa when the competition on that map was running. That should be pretty unbeatable then, shouldn't it? Shouldn't it? I'm sure you can all guess what's coming. Joe did a 0:09. :-)

Joe also improved his Nightmare Run by one second to 0:11. Both these runs are, I think, optimised.

The last two days has seen people take a little more time over their demos on the new maps, and it's really shown....

Demos on theledge

Demos on the_gate

SDA : Ironic and annoying..... or your money back!

Demos on imp1sp2

Demos errr, I mean Demo on em1

That's all for now, sorry if you tried to download any new demos for the first couple of hours after the last update was posted. I'm afraid I made a little mistake which meant they were unavailable. Thanks to Stubbz for fixing it so promptly. :-)

Now get running!

Rippin' At The Carcass. - 10:29 PM

Here we are less than 24 hours after the new maps were added and already we have a clutch of new demos of various qualities. But before we take a look at them we've got two submissions on established maps.

Arturo Garcia Lasca didn't agree with Daniel owning the whole of frbdbase so he improved the Nightmare 100% by one second to 0:43, taking it to within one second of the Easy 100%.

Next up is a demo that I just knew we would see one day and I've been waiting expectantly for months for it to arrive. The only mystery was whether it would be Joe or Valeriy that did the Easy 100% of zippie_sda in 0:13. As it turned out it was Jozsef Szalontai. If this isn't optimum I'll shave my testicles. MUST DOWNLOAD

And now, on to the demos on the new maps.

Daniel Hansson did both of the runs on em1 within an hour of it being announced. The Easy Run in 0:15 and the Nightmare Run in 0:16. Honourable mentions go to Denis Nazarov and Weixing Ye who also submitted both runs. Denn's were exactly the same time as Daniel's but came in a few hours later. Smells like an optimisation race might be coming...

Daniel "Ripping Sheets" Andersson opened the batting on imp1sp2 with an Easy Run in 1:11. But Amrik "Big Pink Vore Balls" Kochhar took a different approach and improved that to 1:00.

Amrik also did some impressive runs on the_gate.

Moving out onto theledge...

That's it for tonight. There'll be another round up of new map demos on Wednesday if you're lucky and if anyone's done any by then. There will also hopefully be another little announcement of a fresh piece of fun, SDA stylee, that we haven't got a name for yet but probably won't be calling "Speed Bumps".

All demos download is available here (UK) and here (Denmark). Sorry if you've had trouble getting the UK download to work for the last two updates but Mr Stubgaard had a little trouble using cut and paste and somehow managed to get extraneous characters in the URL. *TSCH*

Two updates in one day??? - 10:55 PM

What's the world coming to? Next you'll tell me that Morfans is shagging a donkey and Stubby has taken a liking to men and wearing underwear on his head? Oh wait, that's actually true...well in that perspective two updates in a day doesn't quite sound so mad. Now let's cut the crap and get straight to what this update is all about: NEW MAPS!!! Yes, you heard me, but let me repeat myself for those blind PB-wannabes out there: WE HAVE NEW MAPS ON SDA!!! (while we are on the topic of maps: Jesse, finish that damned map you silly dutch prostitute.[1])

I suppose we better get down to business so you can try to be the first to optimize the runs.

We start with The Ledge. It's a small map and to get you started I have taken the liberty of doing the runs: easy run in 0:18 and the nightmare in 0:19. Name your demos tl_xxx.

The next map is The Wherehouse, which is another short map. Since you all like small maps I'll be expecting quite a few demos on this one. Name your demos em1_xxx.

The third map we are adding this time is House of Spikes. It has very nice design, and while we're talking design I want to share with you a few lines from IRC that came about when the two of us and Stubby were discussing the merits of this map.

Morfans: imp1sp2 is okay for a long map
lodis: yeah, it's good design anyway
lodis: ('cept for the pic of fern)
Morfans: even if there's a picture of fern in the secret

I don't know about you but I thought that was hilarious. Me and Morfy are apparently on the same wavelength (a VERY disturbing thought). I wonder what the hell the author(Biff_Debris) thought when he added a pic of Fern to the map. Here's a review at TeamShamblers. Name your demos imp2_xxx.

The last map of this update is The Gate. Name your demos tg_xxx.

Start running!!!

Right. I better stop doing this update now before I end up insulting even more runners (Will, since you are 1-0 up on me I refrained from writing anything silly about you. You still suck though.)

[1] We actually like Jesse even if it doesn't seem like it. In fact he's so popular we receive fanmail every day from runners (hi Martin!) who want naked pics of Jesse. Stubby is happy to oblige as he has the biggest archive of GAY PORN on SDA (Ken came close second with Daniel Hansson on 3rd place).

Isn't Life Grand? - 7:12 PM

Following on from my previous update, we have the two Hungarians, Jozsef and Attila showing off yet again with 9 new coop demos! Daniel "The Doll Fucker" Hansson has claimed total ownage of frbdbase. I haven't been able to play Quake for more than a week due to a mouse failure and what not, but now I'm back in business, and what better way to show it than by doing the Easy 100% of The Axe Map in 1:28, 1 second faster than my previous record. Chop chop chop....

Amrik Kochhar hasn't been idle either. He improved Kimmo's Easy Run of dazsp2b by 3 seconds to get 0:57. Very nice demo!

I stumbled over this article while browsing machinima. I hadn't read it before. Quite an interresting read!

All demos download is available here (UK) and here (Denmark).

Thursday, August 15th by Stubby Hungarian Coop Mayhem, Demo Madness &

Assorted Tidbits - 6:47 PM

Ok folks, I've prolonged this update long enough! The main reason for this is that Jozsef the Almighty has been visiting Attila the Hun for the past three days, and the result of that meeting is an amazing amount of high quality coops! In fact, every demo they did are nothing less than a masterpiece (very colorful words I know, but still true...), so I suggest you check all of them out, pronto! And they are all MUST DOWNLOADS of course. Our own IRC channel basher, Mr. Bergendorff continues to slaughter Justin's Mexx records. Everybody's favorite doll, Arturo "Ken The FUCK DOLL" Garcia Lasca has been at it too. The rest of the squad... On to the tidbits...

A team consisting of two Swedes has made their very own QdQ production. It's not fully up to the current QdQ standards, but it's definitely well worth a look. It's faster than the old Rabbit Run, and that must count for something, right? So please give a big applause to Oskar "Kodden" Calson and Magnus "Dale" Olsson who has created QKDspeed. You can get the .dz version from here and the .zip version from here.

We've (i.e. I have) already started to work on next years Nolans, in order to make it better, bigger and badder! But we would still like to get some input from you: What categories should we have this year? Which ones should we remove? How do you want the presentation to take place? Also, a thing we didn't do last year (we were too lazy and it would have been too much hard work), was to make a list of ALL demos made that year. It was quite hard to figure out what demos to pick, and let alone to remember when they were posted on SDA. So I've made a list of all demos this year so far (been doing it since the very first update this year), and it should enable you guys to pick out what demos should win alot easier. You can check out the list here. So don't hold back folks, give us your comments/ideas. Send them to stubgaard.

Also, we're thinking about a new name for the Windlash (cheated) page. It has to include the words naked and cheating, but you are allowed to twist the words a little, like 'nekkid obsessions with cheaters'.... Send your ideas to me as well.

Phew, this has to be the longest update I've ever done! I'm off, ENJOY!

Friday, August 9th by Morfans The True Definition Of A Freak or

Attack Of The Swedes Pt III - 1:58 AM

Hey there everyone. It's time once again to lay before you the fruits of the speedrunning communities labours. And this time EVERY demo comes from a Swedish runner!

But before we get to the demos I'd like to take a moment to explain to you why it's been over a week since the last demo update. Now, I'm not one to complain, never have been, but my life at the moment is at such a ridiculously busy stage that something had to slip, and unfortunately it's been the update. For those that don't know I'm in the process of moving house, which means trying to arrange for my family, farm and all our possessions to be shipped from the south of England to the north of Scotland. On top of that work has been busier than at any time in the last two years. This has meant that although I've been writing this update for the last four days I've only just had a chance to finish it now.

Luckily, most of the arrangements for the move are now complete and so I'm free once again to spend some time at the ol' PC. And it's warmed my heart to find such understanding and encouragement as this message I reveived earlier on ICQ...(name anonamised to avoid embarrassment)

K*n: (9:32 PM) What the FUCK is going on with the updates!?

Brings a lump to the throat to know you're appreciated, eh? ;-)

However, what this does mean is that in two weeks time I will disappear from the face of the Earth for two weeks. After that it will be business as normal. During this time the World's Greatest Viking Sex Machine, Stubbz, will be servicing all your demo update needs. Gawd bless 'im.

And now, on with the shit that you came here to see!

Carl Tholin and Johan Nilsson have done one more coop. You can tell they're getting cocky when they start beating Attila and Peter records by two seconds, like they did here for the Easy Run of rd1m3. 0:27. They were also kind enough to send us this picture, proving that Deliverance was not just a film, it's alive and well and taking place in Uddevalla...

Carl : You ain't from around these parts, are you boy?
Rolle : Drop them pretty little pants, boy. I'm gunna make you squeal like a pig.
Carl : Go on Rolle, do 'im. *hyck hyck hyck*
Hansson : SQUEEEEEAAAAALLL
Carl : Where's my banjo?
Da-da-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang.[1]

Rickard Axelsson continues to impress. This week he improved both of Optic's 100% demos on the quirky but fun bub2. He took three seconds off of the Easy 100% to get 0:33 and two seconds off of the Nightmare 100% to 0:35. Good use of "the slate", fella!

Rickard then managed to drag Robert Axelsson off of Elin long enough to record five nifty demos.

Robert and Rickard also possed up with Alexander Lindgren to repeat the trick they used in the Easy Run of Satan's Dark Delight and use it in the Nightmare 100%. 0:32.

Thomas Bergendorff has gone on a killing spree with a load of Optic's old records as his target. I have to say that he's made a pretty damn impressive start...

Carl also teamed up with the evil smelling but frighteningly potent Jonny Andersson.

SDA : Because it's worth it! :-)

What's The Opposite Of Up And Down? - 9:42 PM

Do you know what I think? I Think it's always nice to start the update with an Id improvement from Jozsef Szalontai. So let's get right on and see what he's been doing to the Easy Run of The Wizard's Manse. It shouldn't be possible to improve his old record using the same route, but he has still managed to to take the time down by one more second to 0:26. Check out his .txt file; he's even started pimping his demos for next years Nolans, and there's still half a year to go!

Not many people, if they're having a bad day at work, can just flick a switch and destroy half the northern hemisphere. So let's just hope that Dan "noo-clear" Stukanev stays in a good mood. So if you happen to see him, tell him how much you liked his Nightmare Run of deso in 0:45, one second faster than Fabian.

Rickard Axelsson did this Easy 100% of hotel after the coops below, so he was already well lubed up for this run. He beat Marlo's record by one second to 0:39.

But by far the best single player demo of this update is by Me. I recaptured my Nightmare 100% of terror from Weixing by fifteen seconds to 2:16. Sorry about having to use coop 2 in this demo but it was really getting on my nerves when the sound was cutting in and out due to the uber-overflow. :-)

More Mad-Coop LANage from Elin Mårtensson and some guys. (I think it was Robert Axelsson, Peter Abrahamsson, Alexander Lindgren and Rickard Axelsson).

Carl Tholin and Johan Nilsson have sent in six simply smashing (and one fairly rubbish) coop demos. Mostly done on original RDE levels.

Who is the greatest Udder coop duo? Carl and Johan or Daniel and Daniel. Personally, I think it's just too close to call. As for which pair would win a stand up, square go, shirts off, in the car park fight, consider this: We all know that Carl fights like a pussy, but Rolle has been known to knock grown men to the floor using just his musky, masculine scent. You wouldn't think that Ash would be able to stand against that for long, with only his fake tattoo to defend himself with, but never underestimate the power of Dark Hansson. Who would win? Fucked if I know. (Or care.)

Before you drift away make sure you check out the latest Bunny Comparison demos. There's a whole bunch of new demos including Timo moving up to second place in the 100M, and Anders, Snoop and Stubbz rrrrriiiping up some mappage in fine style.

Enjoy the demos or make me your enemy: your choice! ;-)

All demos download is available here (UK) and here (Denmark).

RotW, Mini-Speedcon And More Chicks-On-Speed. - 9:42 PM

Howdy 5p33d phr43k5, casual runners, regular viewers and people that have clicked on this site by accident. Before we get down and dirty with the new demos I'd just like to repeat what Stubbz said in yesterdays update.

THERE'S A NEW "RUN OF THE WHENEVER" COMPETITION UP!!!

Not only is it a fun map to run on (with a bizarre, yet hilarious, name) but it's also the final contest on our Championship Ladder, and with eighty points at stake there is still everything to play for! So no matter what your skill level is be sure to have a try and send your entries in. Thomas and the various mappers (I'm not going to list them here in case I forget one) have put a lot of time and effort into these contests and I think we've all had a lot of fun with them. So say a big thank-you by making this the best attended contest of the series! And now, on to the serious stuff...

There have been rumours floating around that the world of speedrunning is far too misogynistic, but how can that be when this week we have two new players losing their speedrunning virginity and they're both BABES! So in order to honour this momentous day the rest of this update will experience a gender reversal.

Enough with the talk! On with the demos! We've had four more Id improvements from three of the hottest Quake b1atches around!

We've also received five demos on custom levels from some fine, fine ladies.

On to the coops. This last weekend saw the event that will forever be know as "Mini-Speedcon 2002" since everyone is too busy or too poor to get together for a proper Speedcon this year. Miss Martina Selinus visited the boudoir of Lady Stubbz and together they made some sweet, sweet love demos. I'm going to have to keep the descriptions short for them because I'm running out of time due to having spent most of the day coming up with female equivalents for everyone's name. All the demos are of the standard you would expect when two of the greatest exponents of our art get together, so watch the fuckers.

Doing a brilliant and totally mad five player Easy 100% of Gloom Keep we have Alexandra "Sweet Cheeks" Lindgren, Ravishing Rickard Axelsson, Roberta "Pert" Axelsson, Patricia "The Stripper" Abrahamsson and introducing for the first time ever here on SDA, please welcome Roberta's girlfriend Elin "Testosterone" Mårtensson! Being the only bloke there Elin ended up doing most of the work in this 0:22 while the girls just ran around trying to find a mirror to do their makeup in.

Back to Daniella Hansson for our last set of demos. He was having a sleep over at Danni "Menstral Fury" Andersson's house, talking away into the small hours about nail varnish and boys and stuff, when Danni's brother Jonna Andersson, the only real Andersson man, burst in. Once they had stopped screeching they all decided to do some coop.

That's all for this time. Normal service will be resumed next time....

...Probably.

Don't Make Me Break My Foot Off In Yer Ass! - 5:02 PM

It's that time of month again, it's time for the final, yes you heard right, the FINAL Run Of The Whenever contest of the Championship! This is your absolute final chance to secure some valuable championship points. Given the fact that I've been in a really good mood lately (it's probably all them beers), I've decided to let you have nothing less than 4 disciplines this time, all with 20 points maximum each! That means a total of 80 champ points will be available if you are able to get first in all 4 disciplines, and a whoopping 840 champ points in total! :)

Thanks a bunch to Daniel Hansson who came to my rescue. I've turned down quite a few maps he has sent me, not that the maps weren't good, I just wanted the final ROTW contest to be on a really nice map that I'd like myself. So, thanks for all your efforts Daniel, you're a true hero :)

I know it's a bit misleading that this contest is #12 and it says '9th SDA Championship Contest' on the contest page, but that's because we started to name the contests like c1, c2 and so on before the championship began, and we simply just continued with the number we were at when the champ contests started. I'll promise to sort it all out when the Championship has ended and make it more user friendly.

A demo update should be due tomorrow. Depends on how busy Richard will be with moving house and all. Martin Selinus visited me during the weekend, and we made a bunch of coops. Stay tuned for that.

Enjoy!
